Well last night was a treat, lowculture’s favourite quiz show, Only Connect returned on BBC4 and brought with it more witty ways to make us feel stupid and clever at the same time. Which is always lovely, it’s something akin to the same way that fat kids felt when thinking that they were watching Anna [...]

Channel 4 has listened to sanity. Coach Trip is back, and in an inspired move they’ve aired it just before all new Come Dine With Me, making 5-6pm the best hour of television for years. On Channel 4 anyway. So grab a cup of tea box of wine and watch, and then when you’re nice [...]

I was visiting my dad the other week and some Come Dine With Me repeats were on More4. He was surprised at the format and said ‘isn’t this usually an hour?’. I realised that there could be a whole stream of people, like my father, who have missed out on this show in [...]

Like so much leftover turkey being reworked into sandwiches and curry, today’s schedules are full of repeats and revisits. However, like a turkey sandwich, sometimes repeats can be a very tasty prospect. Well, I say that, but I’m a vegetarian, so I don’t actually know if the simile works.
The day kicks off with [...]

COMPETITIVE! Come Dine With Me, Channel 4, 8.00pm
We missed previewing the start of this current series of Come Dine With Me because we were busy previewing, I don’t know, Children in Need or something, probably. However, it’s been a pretty good one. Last week’s East Yorkshire episode was a corker and would be well worth [...]

INNOVATION! House Guest, ITV1, 3.00pm
Proving once more that anything anyone else can do, they can do a lot more rubbishly, ITV’s new daytime series House Guest takes on the Come Dine With Me format, and, presumably, loses.
Although the two series are both made by Granada, there is little chance they will be comparable in terms [...]

COOKING! Celebrity Come Dine With Me, Channel 4, 8.00pm
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for (to clarify, by “we all”, we mean “everyone who’s unwittingly lost an entire Sunday afternoon watching the omnibus of the daytime edition on More4″): Come Dine With Me has achieved the Holy Grail of daytime television and secured itself [...]

ANOTHER YEAR OVER! New Year’s Eve telly
So, 2007, then. The year that brought us two Big Brother race rows, Any Dream Will Do, Harry Potter film 5 and book 7, floods, an actually good remake in the form of Hairspray, a new Prime Minister, Heroes, LOLyoaks, McDean, Ugly Betty, Martha Jones, Steven Beale, data loss [...]

SWIZZTASTIC! Come Dine With Me, Channel 4, 8pm
Disclaimer: First of all, apologies if this post reaches you in less than comprehensible form. Some of us have been out for two Christmas meals and attendant drinks and thusmay not be in the most suitable state to do previews. However, rather than disappoint you with posting much [...]

I see a little silhouetto of a muppet.
Oh dear, what are you on about now? Join the discussion here.
I saw them perform it "live" on GMTV this morning and I nearly spluttered out my tea.
